Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0007117A2] The present invention relates to a method of generating an index (2) to a semi-structured database (1). Semi-structured databases contain a number of items, each of which is stored as a set of semi-structured data including a number of related entries. The presence of these entries are determined by comparing the sets of data to a number of selection criteria, defining one or more predetermined characteristics of various entries. A set of indices is then generated representing a concordance between the determined entries and the respective items.
